The Jewish Book Council's awards program draws attention to books on a wide range of subjects, from life in Israel and the Diaspora to October 7 and the war in Gaza, along with five must-read novels.
The books by Ayelet Tsabari, Maya Arad (via Jessica Cohen), and Joan Leegant were *also* honored this week by the Association of Jewish Libraries Jewish Fiction Award: https://jewishlibraries.org/jewish-fiction-award/
So glad to see The Hebrew Teacher recognized here. I loved it. Hope it's okay to share my review at Lilith Magazine. https://lilith.org/articles/the-painful-business-of-family-living/

Thanks for letting me know about this. I added these awards at the end of the story.
